Love is resilient. 

love can withstand cold isolation 

and dive fully into a warm embrace. 

love is centered in our being

with hopes that someday, 

someone–even ourselves

will find it there.

waiting, ever so patiently

to be discovered

and when it is

it is the most intoxicating.

bringing abundant feelings

of joy

fulfillment

and contentment.

love will always

always

always

win.
